    Inland has moved its Prince George dealership into their new 100,000-square-foot facility located at the south end of town, on Highway 97. The new building, located at 7337 Boundary Avenue, sits on 12 acres and is complete with the latest state-of-the-art equipment to service both truck and equipment.


    “The challenge in the design for Prince George was that we wanted to accommodate both truck and equipment customers, without having multiple entrances – potentially confusing the customer,” said Boyd McConnachie, Vice President of Business Development. “After months of field input, reworking the layout and many back and forth meetings, the design was finalized and the building turned out fantastic. We could not be happier with the final product as it achieves both efficient customer service flow, as well as a unified staff atmosphere.”

    Cutting-edge features for the new facility include: 32 service bays, 27,000 square feet of parts inventory warehousing, an explosion-proof LNG bay, a 25-ton equipment bay crane with 20-foot hook height, a drive-thru down draft paint booth, frame straightening and alignment bays with the latest technology and on-site flywheel resurfacing.

Business is coming back. And we’re very excited about the next show in 2019, which is sure to be even bigger and better!” This year, show attendees included a mix of industry professionals including the leaders of the construction, road building, land improvement, and infrastructure industries – along with job seekers, students and those training for specific trades, and some families with young children who were awestruck by the mammoth equipment. Special features of the 2017 edition included Rock to Road magazine’s presentation of the ‘Top 10 Under 40’, recognizing 10 outstanding individuals under the age of 40 from throughout Canada’s aggregates and roadbuilding industry; the CAED Power Breakfast, an economic forecast presented by the Ontario Chapter of the Canadian Association of Equipment Distributors; the Ontario Asphalt Pavement Council (OAPC) Spring Operations Seminar; as well as many other exciting components including the Rental Pavilion, the Mechanics Hub Recruiting Here program, a focus on snow and ice removal equipment, and more. Thank you to Rock To Road Magazine, Mechanics Hub, the CAED, and OAPC for their continued support of the National Heavy Equipment Show.

  • April Is The Beginning of Digging Season - Call Before You Dig

    April typically marks the beginning of digging season, and of course, the start of National Safe Digging Month. The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) is dedicated to the safety of all diggers in the field, and encourages all workers to take proper safety precautions.

    The April National Safe Digging Month is an initiative created by the Common Ground Alliance (GCA) to spread awareness and promote the safety of the digging industry. This initiative works to promote an overall focus on the safety of our land workers, and to remind diggers to take safety precautions prior to digging. GCA wants to remind diggers that it is imperative that they call 811 prior to digging underground.

    The 811 phone line was created to ensure workers and diggers can perform their jobs in a safe manner and avoid all buried utility lines. The 811 is free of cost, and will send a professional out to mark where utility lines are located near the dig site.
